Here’s Michael Chabon’s compelling take on why Jews who still support Trump are not thinking clearly.

A lot of good folks think we should leave the statues where they are. (The numbers may surprise you.)

Our very own Jim Burt may have come up with the perfect solution:

Three things for your weekend:

The VICE coverage of Charlottesville everyone is talking about — 22 minutes. Senator Chris Murphy on how Trump is explicitly working to destroy health care — 2 minutes. And if you haven’t already seen it, Jimmy Kimmel nails it — and has a solution: make America Great […]
